WACKY WILLIAMS : Letters to Santa

Letters to Santa 
This image was shot with the camera on a timer inside our mailbox.  If I did it again, I'd find a way to level out the camera better, or use a wider lens so I could crop in.   This was shot with a 35mm f1.4 nikon lens on a D3S camera body... which barely fit inside our tiny mailbox.   With a 10 second timer, I got about 3 shots before the kids lost interest, and it was too dangerous to keep them near the road.  I did a before and after of the image, so you can see some of the fun of photoshop enhancements.  This one has some dodging and burning, a changed background and the sunny haze added.

Wacky Williams : The Lord of Christmas!

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year
 from your friends at 
Awakened Images Photography!


Enjoy our Epic Christmas card!  We had some fun making this card.  It's a 'Twilight/Lord of the Rings/Harry Potter" look, with a Lord of the Rings theme.  Although we love the dramatic twist to a good Christmas card, our hearts are only admiring the Christ Child during the Christmas season.  The Lord of Christmas, the Christ, will always be the reason for the season.  So as you Hustle around for those last minute presents, let God soften your hearts to accepting the best gift EVER!  It was given by God, and was a way for us to join him in eternity, through the sacrifice of Jesus. 

 I love thinking about what heaven must have looked like as Jesus left Heaven for his Earthly experience... did they commission him away at the time of the Holy Spirit's conception with Mary, or did he leave heaven at his birth in that lowly stable/cave in Bethlehem? 
 Did the angels send him away, throwing a great party, or was it a time of sadness, as they knew the rejection Jesus was to receive from his beloved children on this earth?

I love "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8 NIV.   
God didn't send us the opportunity to enter heaven because we were becoming good people... he didn't ask us to clean up our acts so he could give us a cool gift....  
He sent it to us, while we were cursing him, spitting in his face, and choosing our own lifestyles.   We didn't deserve it, and yet, he gives... and gives.   

Enjoy our family Christmas card!
 Merry Christmas!!!!

DeVisser Family Christmas Card 2016

My Family put up a vintage windmill this year at their country home.  Naturally, it had to make their Christmas card :)  We decided that their family should make an appearance too, so we collaborated their Windmill and family to get this fun idea for their card.... If their family grows much more, they will need a bigger windmill! LOL!  Enjoy!  Merry Christmas from the De Vissers!

Aaron : 5

I've been photographing Aaron every year at his birthday since his birth, and this year, he's 5!  Wow, does time fly!  He's such a well behaved little guy, I just love him to pieces!  We landed a wonderful snowy day for his photos this year... previously, he has had the luck of warmer sunny days without snow, but I guess our luck changed.... still for good pictures, but bad for driving!  He's been such a joy to have each year, and truly a session I've looked forward to every time.  Enjoy a few Teasers of Aaron!
